PODCASTING!

Podcast is a way to call audio files on the internet, but the differece is you can subscribe to those!
The podcast word was inventid with the join of two words Pod (portable on demand) and broadcast.
Audio files should be stored on a server with .mp3 or .ogg extension.
.ogg is an extension used mostly on mac computers.
Nowadays this word is also been used on multimedia broadcasts on the net.
Most podcast are been published on rss feeds, so you can subscribe to those and get refreshed every new file!
To read a podcast, you need a normal multimedia player as could be windows media player, or apple iTunes.

You can see down a video of an apple ad about podcasts!

Fallas!!


Well, Fallas are the feast of the city of Valencia.

That celebration used to be more or less a week in the past, but nowadays, it's up to 15 days, (from 1st to 19th March).

I've to tell you that the real party is only a weekend, from 1st to 15 there are only "mascletas" which are a show with fireworks which explode all at the same time, every day at 14pm at the town hall square.

The most famous thing about Fallas celebration are the monuments, which are burnt every year on 19th as the end of the feast. those monuments are built during the year by some "artistas falleros".

But fallas don't finish here, there're also a lot of things more, like the despertà, which is people making sound to wake up others, The nit del foc, which is a night where a famous firework artist makes a show whith her best.

And a lot of more things like catholic activities which i've never been in one.


I like fallas, for the holiday and the party, but i don't like so much the sculptures or mascletas because are most of right wing viewed persons.


You can see the mascleta on the photo, and a video of the "nit del foc"!!

The greenhouse effect



Well, the greenhouse effect is because of our fault because we don't care about our planet and if we continue like that we'll destroy it.
It's the effect which produces to increase heat on earth by don't letting go out solar radiation.
i'll explain it better, solar radiation enter in our planet and if there weren't gases produced by us that radiation will gou out but we are creating every year even more than the last year so every day there're more gases created by factories, cars, and a lot of more insane products so radiation can't exit as it needed so the earth is getting hotter each day.
If we continue like that the medium temperature will be increased, so the earth poles will deice and the sea level will increase so some island could dissapear.
We have to do something to stop it!!

Other XmaS!


Well i think there are other cultures like English who celebrate more christmas than us because they've father christmas, they decorate their houses, they sing christmas carols and they send christmas cards and some other things.

I think in france is more o less than here.

And as i know in africa in most of the places don't know what is christmas so it is so sad.

In south africa they celebrate new year on summer.

Christmas in Spain


I think we're very lucky on christmas because almost all Spanish people uses to Celebrate at least, Father chistmas or "Los Reyes Magos". So Christmas Should start at december's first day and finishes on 6th january.

On 24th december we celebrate "noche buena" which is the day, Father christmas comes to our houses, and on 25th we have the presents and we use to go to have lunch with the family. On 31th december which is called "noche vieja" we have a tradition which is to eat 12 graps whithing the clock sounds 12 o'clock, (one per second).

And finally on 6th "Los Reyes Magos" come to our houses, and this is like father christmas.
